Piece work mag. jan./feb. 2011 has a pattern for a recreation Gordon Highlanders diced sock, I have a friend that thought the pattern was quite simple(her words) the cuff is al wrong ,but she has had no trouble converting them for me.
NOTE
the pattern is ment for two needles, knitted in the flat, has a seam from the toe to the top and as my friend said "the weight is wrong, she will knit them with a more durable yarn."
P.S.
My friend is a 70 yr. old german woman from occupied Berlin who knits to makes a living.
I don't know how to type this but she seems to have a special place in her heart for kilted men.I was told she was the one for this job by my local kniting club( all 50 or older, yes I joined) She rembers scottish solidiers in Berlin
after the war as a young woman with what can only be said as heart felt admeration, (you should hear the stories as we knit, it's the highlite of my week.)She told me that marled yarn( a combination of two colors) can be handmade,but for me was not the way to go.($) She is halfway done and they look good, the contrast with the 3 colors is sharp but cool.
All n' all a good place to start for people looking for diced hose.
P.P.S.
Your local V.F.W. is a good place to look for kniters,who like to try somthing new to knit.

P.P.P.S.
I dont know how to make this pattern available to all,please help.
